VO161 Seine Bridge Walk - Part 1 of 3

Note: Registration is currently full. We are planning a second series of bridge walks, starting in a few weeks, so please put your name on the wait list and we will contact you.

The first of three (or possibly four) walks over the course of the next nine months that aims to cross all 35 of the bridges inside the city limits of Paris on the River Seine.

The first walk will start at Pont Tolbiac, at the eastern end of the Seine, and will aim to include the five bridges before reaching Île Saint-Louis and the six bridges connecting Île Saint-Louis:

• Pont Tolbiac
• Passarelle Simone de Beauvoir
• Pont Bercy
• Pont de Gaulle
• Pont Austerlitz
• Pont de Sully
• Pont de la Tournelle
• Pont Marie
• Pont Louis-Philippe
• Point Saint-Louis

After the winter holidays we will cross the remaining eight bridges connecting Île de la Cité to the mainland, and the five bridges west of those. And in the spring we will cross the remaining bridges on the western end of the Seine.

The exact number of bridges crossed on each of the walks is aspirational, and will depend on the weather and other factors. But the goal is to cross all the Seine bridges over the next 10 months.

Each walk will include a refreshment stop at a café—during or after the walk—to chat and get to know fellow WICE members.

Those who successfully complete all three walks will receive the prestigious and highly coveted "WICE Paris Bridge Walk" certificate.
